Woulda-coulda-shoulda criticized some of the calls/non-calls of the past game, for example, against UAB, but that'd be deflecting a bit more than is called for. The team just over-dribbled/got-scared, it seemed, a bit too many times in that game and couldn't buy a bucket when it counted. One-step-forward, two-steps-back, as it were.
Even after they settle in, they sometimes miss open shots. This is a team full of players that can score 20 points, but rarely in the same game, and they can all go cold at the same time. Better to lose now than in March. This is the best "team" we have seen in a while and it is good to see how they handle adversity now, rather than tournament time.

Put some dirt on it and "just win, baby!"

Agree that we need patience. I think there are some tweaks the coaches can make. Seems like they want to settle upon just motivation
